32 One-Hit Wonders from the 1970s That Will Always Be Stuck in Our Heads

Timmy Thomas’s 1972 hit “Why Can’t We Live Together” inspired many songs in the years to come, including Drake’s “Hotline Bling” (2016). Blending classic Bossa Nova-style percussion with the contemporary sound, this song captures the timeless influence of Thomas’s work on modern music. That’s why it was such a hit during the 70s, and probably why he could never match it.
